Cocotinos Lembeh is a boutique hotel specially designed with divers and underwater photographers in mind. The facilities are fantastic with well equipped, modern dive boats and some very special gear for underwater photographers. The focus on comfort and great facilities extends to the resort itself which is small and beautiful with a real feeling of warmth and hospitality from the staff.

Conservation
Cocotinos Lembeh sits in the heart of the Lembeh Strait one of the most biodiverse areas in Indonesia. Considering how much local resorts depend on the natural beauty of the area it should come as no surprise that Cocotinos is heavily involved in local conservations. A large part of this is educating local schoolchildren. The resort organises beach clean-ups regularly to help encourage young local people to protect their environment. The guides at Cocotinos Lembeh are very knowledgeable about the critters and creatures they dive with every day. They will keep guests informed of the environment and any special rules for the dive sites.
